DIY Spy Mic - How to build and test in real life | Ultra long distance microphone 

I must confess you are right about that

Thank you 🙏🙏🙏 pretty amazing 🤩

That is actually a very good idea 💡

Thank you very much 👍👍👍 Have fun ☺️

Sounds interesting 🤔

Thank you ! I am already planing of making some different mics. Let`s see what is about to happen :)

Now I am working on huge parabolic mic ;)

I took the "dish" from some of my kid`s toys actually. It is not the perfect shape to do it because it is not parabolic, but spheric shape. Anyway I wanted to make some primitive experiment to find out if it`s going to amplify the sound. And the result show it clearly that there is significant amplification, but there are also many imperfections in the sound. It sound somehow distorted (you know what I mean). I tryed to get the best focal point for this project to get themost of it. I must admit it`s not perfect, but it is some basic point for my next project for long didtance mic with very large parabolic dish from old SAT TV receiver. The capsule here is very important, I used the AOM-5024L-HD-R . I had to order these from the USA (I live in Bulgaria). These capsules are brilliant in my opinion :) Keep in touch ;)

Thanks 👍👍👍

Yep that's right 👍 and many more:)

Thank you man 🙏 God bless you 🙏🙏🙏

@@FixitEasyDIY bro did not get the taken reference lmao

I will try to make new video of creating this, I just have to find parts needed. I used voice recorder Zoom H1N to record the sound. It gives better performance for the mic definitely

I ordered the mic here: eu.mouser.com/ProductDetail/PUI-Audio/AOM-5024L-HD-R?qs=j%252B1pi9TdxUZP%252BNk1SD4XMw%3D%3D&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI_Oi-jvapggMVF0dBAh3xZQG5EAAYASAAEgKDtPD_BwE

It's a condenser capsule pui audio aom-5024l-hd-r. The plate was laying around in my garage. It's a simple 10 cm sphere. It's all about finding the focal point, so this could be any dish and a little bit of experiments with it ;)

I already disassembled everything. I don't remember dimensions but anyway you need to experiment because it will be different with different microphone and setup. Good luck my friend 🤞🤞🤞

You got me ;)

I was experimenting with the focal point. It was kinda tricky, but eventually it worked. Thank you so much for the great advice ☺️ I should definitely use this light method for my next microphone project. Huge thank you again 🤗

@@FixitEasyDIY Thank you ❤

@cia3653 you are welcome 🤗

It's just not legal to record strangers

I know my presentation is very poor. I am sorry about that. I was making this video in time when i didn't know much about filming and generally RU-vid. But I assure you, this is a very good pointed microphone 🙂

It is a DIY project. I am not selling it because I live in Bulgaria and shipping costs worldwide are insane. I can guide you to make it yourself if you want to ;)

I don't sell my devices, but you can make it yourself. I will help you with the setup.

I was afraid to record people

You are right 👍 I am considering upgrade of the project.

Wow I never heard of something like that. Sounds interesting 🤔

In short I must confess you are right.

@@FixitEasyDIY well it depends on what you want to do.

It was kinda experimenting with this set-up. There is significant amplification, compared to my camera built in mic, but I've managed to make huge success, using an old satellite dish and properly mounting the microphone in the right position. You are right that this one makes the sound very odd and probably not usable for recording speech.

​@FixitEasyDIY it works, but I feel like the ambient amplify mode on my phone does a better job. Still cool object to modify and tinker with in spare time, might just need to experiment with different sized components for a bit

@@MattQrillz You are totally right 👍 I've tried to get much better amplification by using old satellite dish. It is actually an offset dish and I could get sounds from more than 200 meters away. There is huge distortion, but it is a good starting point for further experiments :)

I did some experimenting

So called focal point is "in the middle of the middle" . It`s not that important to make it super precise. Best way for home DIY is to try to make it by experimenting. Unfortunately there is no easy way to make it, but the good news is that it is really not that big difference if it`s not perfect. Just try it. Bigger bowl would give you better results. I wish you all the best my friend! ;)

@@FixitEasyDIY I hove done it but it still does not make any difference without mic and with mic.

Probably using the wrong microphone capsule?

Could you make a tutorial on this?

@@mangakadomingos292 I was thinking this was easy to repeat. Just follow what I was doing in this video. The most important part is to find the focal point of the dish. It turned out that it's best to experiment until it gives significant sound gain. If you need some further information I would be glad to help with anything.

Well I was experimenting a lot behind the scenes :)
